Carrie Underwood Wins ACM’s Entertainer of the Year
Carrie Underwood wins the night’s top honors at the 2009 Academy Of Country Music Awards held at the MGM Grand on Sunday (April 5) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 26-year-old American Idol champ picked up Top Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year (a fan-voted category this year), beating out Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and George Strait. During her acceptance speech, Carrie twirled around and gushed, “Mike baby, I wish you were here,” shouting out her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher.
During the ceremony, Carrie also performed her hit song “I Told You So” in a gorgeous merlot Rafael Cennamo gown, which overtook half of the stage. Check out her performance below!

Is she wearing a circus tent?
Actually Jared, she said Mike Baby, I wish you were here… not My baby.
Congrats to Carrie. OMG!!!!!!
Congrats Carrie!!!!
u always broke music industry Records!!!!
well deserved!
Did she?? Did everyone else hear Mike Baby, also??
Is she wearing Kelly Clarksons MY DECEMBER dress?
She has an incredible voice, but she is not a great entertainer. Not by a long shot. Stiff. Wooden. Boring. Yes, I’ve seen her in concert.
Awesome! This is great! Well deserved! And yes she did acknowledge her man by name. Great job Carrie!
Yes it sounded like “Mike baby I wish you were here”. I re-played it to make sure.
Ugh. I can’t believe she won. And her version of I Told You So just flat out sucks a s s. A dog could do better Randy Travis than Carrie Underwood.
YEAH CARRIE!!! I am so happy for her! She is a great person inside and out! She is also a great entertainer!
Im sorry but I think Kenny should’ve taken this one home!
Aww, yay, I’m glad she won. I like her music for the most part.
I LOVE that white dress she’s wearing. What an awesome outfit.
The dress she’s performing in on the other hand is quite possibly the biggest dress I’ve ever seen. The skirt just seems to continue to flow outward. What a beautiful color dress though. It fits beautifully and the color compliments her skin tone and features really well.
she said, Mike Fisher, I wish you were here. She is fantastic.
Yeah Jared, I heard “Mike, baby…” as well.
wat is under that tent of a dress UGLLY much
Who is Mike?
Shelby, I disagree! She’s come a LOOOONG way, and it an AWESOME live performer.. not just singer. I’ve seen her live 5 times, and each time she just gets better and better.
And yes, Jared. Everyone seems to think she said “Mike, baby.” =)
congrats to carrie! she has a great voice and she deserves this. i dont exactly like the huge dress….why did she want to wear something like that? the colour’s great though.
Jared from people.com. They have Mike, Baby too.
Carrie Underwood became the first woman since 2001 to be named ACM entertainer of the year – and only the seventh female to win the Academy of Country Music’s top honor since it was first handed out in 1970.
“I’ve had a lot of good moments in the last four years. This one takes the cake!” said a teary-eyed Underwood, her voice cracking onstage Sunday at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. “I don’t know what to say! I got nothing.” But she did remember one important person: Raising her trophy, she yelled, “Mike, baby, I wish you were here!” in a shout-out to her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher.

Carrie if your stylist picked that dress out you performed in they should be fired. Way to much dress. I don’t even understand why someone would make it in the first place.
